If any of you live in or near Seattle, or are planning to visit the Seattle area anytime soon (okay, even within the next 2 years), you HAVE to check out EMP’s new horror-centric exhibit, Can’t Look Away: The Lure of Horror Film. It is simply. AMAZING. I wrote a review of it for Three Imaginary Girls,

So here’s the thing, when people tell me that a horror film is completely brutal and the gore is so extreme it’s going to make me sick, I brush them off, because well, it’s usually not true. But with Martyrs – well. Yeah. They were right. Normally when I’m watching a horror movie, I’m clapping
directorscuts: It’s been a while. Excited to go back to the factory Friday at @HorrorNights… Dude. Dude. DUDE!!!! My friend and I are totally headed to LA to do this thing. Not to mention mazes of; The Thing: Assimilation, Alice Cooper’s Welcome to My Nightmare, Rob Zombie’s House of 1,000 Corpses, and tons of other
Open House (2010) Those of you who might have seen the cover art for this film probably noticed that Sookie & Bill from True Blood are featured prominently.

31 Horror Movies I Own #23: Audition (Odishon) True story: when I went to rent Audition from my local video store, the guy took one look at me and said, “Are you sure you want this one? I mean it’s really violent. REALLY REALLY horrible stuff happens. Like, I almost threw up while I was
31 Horror Movies I Own #22: Phantasm Okay, okay, I know. Phantasm is not really that scary…it’s just completely bizarre, but I love it because of all its hilarious glory.
